Where does Jonas show courage and integrity?

Jonas shows courage in a lot of ways in this book. For
example:


  • He shows courage when he starts to
    learn about pain in the memories he is given.  He has to keep going back for more even
    when some of them (like the war) are very painful.

  • He
    shows it even more when he decides to take Gabe and leave the community.  He surely
    knows that he will die if he is caught, but he does it
    anyway.

To me, this is also his biggest show of
integrity.  He believes that what his society is doing is not right.  So he decides that
he is not going to just allow it to keep happening, even though that would be the
easiest thing to do.  I think this shows integrity.
